Check out Tom Swift.com <br />Re: nuclear locomotives there is that paper on a modern design on the 21st century Steam page. I've never been able to find any evidence of modern commercial interest. <br /> As far as waste,the Modular Pebble Bed system is a fast breeder reactor,meaning the wastes can be efficiently recycled to make more plutonium fuel(of course that's not 100% efficient).The big worry is that you've got material which is relatively easy to refine to weapons grade. <br /> Hey,there's a lot of interesting work being done on laser ignition nuclear fusion.Give it a decade or so and it'll be just the thing to power the "Starfleet Big Boy".
